About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

It's Allah's will.
Geez, I sound like Zafar Bangash, who yesterday pulled his Crescent International editorial “Hurricane Sandy delivers slap on US face” after the National Post found it.
Maybe they should have stuck to champagne and dancing. Oh, wait, they can't do that! They can (and do as the norm) marry their close blood relatives but can't dance or sip a glass of champagne at the wedding. Must protect morality, doncha know!
I feel sorry for the victims.
It's probably too much to ask, but what are the chances that the gunman was one of those electrocuted?
wow , dont see how the floor was wet. what kind of voltage do they run in a line and what kind of breaker system do they use. we have all taken a 110 jolt from a cord somewhere along our lives. I have a circular saw cord needing replacement sitting on my bench right now. and that floor was wet at the time it did it.

The Arabs just love this sh*t. Lunacy. Here's one they made earlier.
" ALI ACH/PHHHZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT."
Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
How is it they can have fully automatic weapons,while Canadians are restricted to a five shot magazine on semi-autos?
The Saudis must be a more advanced people.
The crack Saudi investigators will conclude that
a) the Jews did it!
or
b) a witch did it!
Shows a profound understanding of physics, doesn't it? "I shot a bullet into the air, it fell to Earth I know n-ughhhh..."
From comments at the link I posted @2:06 -
robins111
"Silly,me, I was hoping one of those fucking idiots would trim ,one of those overhead wires, and subsequently take about 30 amps through the top lip when it fell. Second, with all those empty cases laying around, there's at least 6 flat tires.. geniuses.."
robins111 is prophetic (PBUH)
Filter, my old nemesis; we meet again.
Multiple generations of consanguinity obviously have consequences.
A mandatory gun registry would have averted this disaster.
Steve:
What disaster? This is a trend which should be encouraged.
Zafar Bangash, who yesterday pulled his Crescent International editorial “Hurricane Sandy delivers slap on US face”
Wonder what he'll call a mushroom cloud smiling over Iran...a bump in the road?
This practice is also common in the Philippines, but at New Year's rather than at weddings, and they use M16s rather than AKs. I've been there for a couple of New Years and according to the newspapers as many as 30 people die nationwide during the celebrations. One year I remember reading that a small child died while sleeping, from a returning bullet that crashed through the roof of a house. They also set off fireworks, aiming rockets at each other. I made the mistake of stepping outside of my hotel at midnight to observe the celebration and found that rockets were flying along the street in front as two groups were firing at each other, Numerous fires result and the dominant sound after midnight is of sirens of fire engines racing to extinguish the blazes. OTOH I was in Cody Wyoming on the evening of July 4th one year watching a number of forest fires break out on a nearby mountainside started by misdirected fireworks. Stupid occurs in many different places, though the video posted here exceeds anything I've observed elsewhere. Notice that most of the firing is not directly upward, so the tumbling lead probably affects a different tribe.
It reminds me of Arafat's funeral. The Palestinian Authority guards firing warning shots straight up to clear the way for the funereal helicopter to land... while it was hovering directly overhead. How they didn't shoot it down I'll never know.
Um, cal2, most of the European-side of the Earth has 220-volt household power.
But other reports say it was a "high-voltage line", like maybe on the incoming side of a transformer.
What's hilarious about the whole episode is that Saudi Arabia had just banned celebrating wedding with firearms, less than a month ago.
Karma is a b*tch.

so nice, I had to say it twice... sorry
If you take a look at the photo in the NP there is a transformer supported by two posts on the other side of the wall. Perhaps someone tapped into the high voltage side to get free electricity. That would explain the lethality, 110V won't kill you unless you're extremely unlucky but 4400V (or more) will kill your whole family.
for the record Saudi Arabia has been converting to 230vac for the last few years.
It is interesting to note that most (if not all) victims were from one tribe. I'm willing to bet that said tribe was probably not in the royal families blood line either.
Canada should adopt a policy of supplying small malfuncioning firearms and sweaty dynamite to both sides of every conflict in all Moslem countries. The faster they do each other in the better off the world will be. Moslem Murder Cult, murder and mayhem 24/7/365. We would never allow Charlie Manson to immigrate to Canada why do we allow Moslems?
Our God is stronger than theirs.
Every once in a while Allah screws up.
You would think they could leave thier guns ina tent. Even drunken cowboys had that much sense.
"We would never allow Charlie Manson to immigrate to Canada......?"
RFB, we aren't really sure of that,Charlie never applied. Had he fled here shortly after his mischief,he'd probably be on parole in Vancouver right now.
220 -221 whatever it takes.
at least most euroweinies have breakers at the plugs
Uncle Mohammad doing the shooting was really an undercover mossad agent.
